Art Web Design problem..

[Genkai]

Um, I have a teensy question. How can I make a pattern as my background on my [URL=http://zoomy.pitas.com]blog[/URL] ? I've tried < body background="Image URL" > bud without the spaces between the text and the <>... Look at my blog and you'll see it's not working except on the image, on which it already was.

Anyone spot the problem?

[size=1]Personally, I would just use a CSS stylesheet. Like so:

< style type="text/css">

body
{ background: #ffffff;
background-image: url([url]http://www.freewebs.com/genkai/excelsaga2.jpg[/url]);
background-repeat: value; [repeat, no-repeat, repeat-x, repeat-y]
background-position: valueI valueII; [valueI: top, center, bottom, percentage, pixel number]
[valueII: right, center, left, percentage, pixel number]
background-attachment: value; [scroll, fixed] }

< /style>

Just put that within your "head" tags, and take the spaces out from the beginning and ending tags.

I have already put in your image, here is how the rest of it works:

[b][u]background-repeat:[/u][/b] Insert whichever of the following sounds like the way you want it in place of the word "value".
? [i]repeat[/i] - this will make the given image repeat across the background both vertically and horizontally.
? [i]no-repeat[/i] - will have the image stay just in one place.
? [i]repeat-x[/i] - will have the image repeat horizontally across your backrgound.
? [i]repeat-y[/i] - will have the image repeat veritcally up and down your background.

[b][u]background-position:[/u][/b] I am going to assume you would want it starting in the top left corner. so just put "top" in place of "valueI", and "left" in place of "valueII".

[b][u]background-attachment:[/u][/b] Insert whichever of the following sounds like the way you want it in place of the word "value".
? [i]scroll[/i] - The background will move along with the rest of the page when scrolled.
? [i]fixed[/i] - The background will not move when scrolling down the page. The text will just move over it.



Though, honestly, I would try to cut down the filesize of that background first. o_O That is pretty much a dial-up user's nightmare, lol.[/size]

Hmmm... i think I did everything right, but now there's a big blue border around it with a white background instead of the background pattern.. Does anyone know if pitas won't use background patterns or something?

First of all, I'll join your Flaming Lips club.

Second of all, are you sure Freewebs allows direct linking? When I go to your site, not one image ever even loads. I tried going directly to your background image, but that doesn't work either.

Hmm... If it ever doesn't work for me I just drag it up to the url bar and it'll load... Hmm... Well, I've slaved finding good image hosting service, and I can find anything really good.... So I dunno.... Hmm...

Okay, you're vice president!

edit: Okay, everything's working 'cept one thing?How come the blocks of text have a white background? And what can I do about it?
